Flying a Back Course Localizer Approach
The EXP5000 is designed to fully support flying back course localizer
approaches. To perform a back course localizer approach, ensure the
front course value is set via the EXP5000 Course Set knob. As soon
as the EXP5000 determines that it is established on the back course
localizer, the HDI source label indicates “LOC BCRS” and both the
HDI and CDI display correct sensing. There is no further pilot action
required.
Note:
For coupled approaches, the Autopilot may have to be set to reverse
mode. Please consult the Autopilot POH for proper operation.
